This paper describes the implementation of BALM and LISP processors for the Burroughs B1726 computer. The processors consist of an interpreter of MBALM pseudo-code (written in MIL), and a compiler from BALM or LISP to MBALM code (written in BALM or LISP). Of particular interest is the modular design of the interpreter, and the techniques used to evaluate and improve the size and speed of the machine. The current system is interactive, with incremental function compilation, compacting garbage collector, and virtual storage organization.
